This could prove useful if Gocong is allowed a shot at MLB. Although this could prove to be a liability in pass coverage, particularly since the Eagles could be having trouble with tight ends again as in the start of last year. However, it appears the Eagles are struggling with MLB in the wake of Bradley's injury. Tradeoffs and compromises seem to be the order of the day. <br /><br />There could be some trades in the offing: Reggie Brown and maybe a quaterback might be expendable for the Eagles. They need a TE and a middle linebacker. But while there could be some TE's to fill a #2 role out there, a #1 or even #2 MLB could be a lot harder to find.izzylangfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329253927324394561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-23103687369526779092009-08-26T20:55:04.722-04:002009-08-26T20:55:04.722-04:00Hey Tommy, great stuff as always.

Or are the Birds happy with Myers as the #2?Danyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13889868288773512397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-23848557850613510522009-08-26T16:32:39.853-04:002009-08-26T16:32:39.853-04:00Matt Schoebel is biodegradable and made of 100% na...Matt Schoebel is biodegradable and made of 100% natural material so I don't think we'll have a problem there.<br /><br />Is Curtis perhaps finally one of those guys who fits in the mold of a blocking tight end?

Maybe his speed will let him get to the quarterback faster from the closer MLB possition. (He never seems to quite get there from the wing.) And he supposedly is finally learning to cover. Pressure up the middle from the MLB on passing plays would be nice and in my view is something that has been missing from the Eagles D - from LB or DT. <br /><br />Fokou has been impressive but at 228, doesn't one have to expect that he will wear down quickly in the middle as teams run at him repeatedly.izzylangfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329253927324394561noreply@blogger.com
